Re: Supply Chain Struggles Reported By Switch Manufacturing Partner

"Citing difficulties with the procurement of important components."

What they actually mean is, nobody is making those raggedy old parts anymore because chip makers have moved onto better tech. Hell, even Nintendo themselves have already started putting HDMI 2.0 sockets on their Switch OLED Docks because nobody was making HDMI 1.4 anymore

Re: Miyamoto Wasn't A Fan Of The Art Style In Zelda: Wind Waker

Coming from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, I was hoping Wind Waker would have even better more realistic graphics. So I was really pissed when they released a new Zelda game with cell-shaded graphics. But honestly, after playing it and seeing toon Link's expressions, I came to find the art style as quite endearing. Would I have preferred a more realistic look? Sure. But Wind Waker worked out alright and I still love revisiting it to this day. Then Twilight Princess followed after it and I fell in love with the Zelda franchise all over again. Midna is easily the best companion so far

Re: Video: Zelda 64's Lake Hylia Has Been Reimagined In Unreal Engine 5, And It Looks Absolutely Stunning

If only Nintendo would make a console that could output that level of graphical beauty. They already have great gameplay, great music, great stories and great characters. Hardware with enough horsepower to run Unreal 5 is the last piece of the jigsaw. Hopefully Nvidia's upcoming Ava Lovelace architecture can bring the dream to life for Nintendo's Switch successor console.
